IMPROVEMENT IN SHIRTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 182,920, dated October 3, 1876; application filed June 3, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIMEoN GUTMANN, of New York city, county, and State, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bosom-Shirts, Collars, and Cuffs, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings. 7

Shirts are now made in some instances with more than one bosom, and, in fancy shirts, difi'ering in color. Shirts of this kind are shown in Letters Patent 170,081 and 17 0,082, dated November 16, 1875, and granted to me.

The object of this invention is to form a complete shirt, having two or more bosoms of different color or print, and also, to be used as necessary .parts of the invention, complete double collars and cuffs to correspond therewith. The collars are double-faced, or so made as to show either face at will. Each face corresponds in style with one style of the bosoms, and the reverse side of the collar-band of each corresponds with each reverse face.

The cuffs have their surfaces composed of similar or different colors or prints, joined at a line drawn transversely and across the ends, which are double, or provided with four button-holes, and may bereversed end for end, in

wearing, at will. The linings of the cuffs may be made of either one of the fancy prints entire and similar throughout. The double and different faced collars, double and different colored cufi's, as to their end surfaces, and two or more different-colored shirt-bosoms of any suitable construction, are intended to be worn together; and in their joint and several combinations my invention consists.

Figures 1 and 2 are front views of a doublebosom shirt, 'the first showing one, and the second showing the other, bosom in front. Figs. 3 and 4 are views of the corresponding collars. Figs. 5 and 6 show the face and lining sides, respectively, of the cuffs.

I do not confine my invention to the particular style or construction of bosom-shirt shown as an element in the combination, since the two different-colored bosoms B and B, may be varied both in style and in construction without changing the characteristics of my invention.

The collars are of the turn-over variety, and have the faces F and F of the collar proper, and the reverse sides of the bands R and R, of similar style or pattern, so that where either face F or F of the collar is turned over the cravat or neck-tie, the corresponding sideR or R of the collar-band will appear in front.

The cuffs have the surface S, composed of different color or style of material, joined by any ordinary seam or line of stitching along the transverse center (JO thereof, and, having the four button-holes H H and H H, may be worn so that the bosom, collar, and that part of the cuff which is exposed in front, shall correspond in color and style of print; or, the cuffs being omitted or different, the bosom and collar together will correspond, and the collar being omitted or difi'erent, the bosom and cuffs will correspond.

[ claim as my invention- 1. The collar I), provided with the two faces F and F, and the corresponding reversefaced collar-bands R and B, as shown and described.

2. The double cuff E, provided with the parti-colored face S, as shown and described.

3. In combination with the two or more bosoms of a single shirt, composed of material of different faces and colors, the collar D, provided with two faces F, and F, and the corresponding reverse-faced bands R and R, as shown and described.

4. In combination with the two or more bosoms of a single shirt, composed of material of difierent faces and colors, the double cuff E, provided with the two colored faces 5, as shown and described.
